"THE largest American investor in the DRC.. hopefully soon"
"We're still finalising the agreement with the government and the commercial counter party"
"We'll move fast, once the ink dries on the contracts"
Yes they do - The Brown Paper Bag RulesYes, but DRC rarely play by the rules.
How much is that plane worth? Just for future reference.View attachment 87557![]()

Could be a rent-a-plane plane, Felix is more dodgy than his make believe chinese omeca wotches.How much is that plane worth? Just for future reference.
I wish I could share your optimism....I am in Bali atm and don't have the time to read the many posts from today, but from what I have read my thoughts are ...
1. USA is pushing on with facilitation of the DRC/Rwanda peace agreement.
2. Kobold will not deal with the corrupt Cominiere.
3. Kobold will deal with DRC government and AVZ directly.
4. AVZ/DRC should have deferred the ICSID proceedings for 1 month rather than 1 week.
5. Despite the DRC not playing the game wrt ICSID as per AVZ's announcement today, following the peace agreement on 27-Jun, the process will see results that favour AVZ ... albeit over several steps, and the DRC goverment will have to involve AVZ even though it is clear that they despise AVZ.
6. Several people have today been posting ridiculous inflamatory posts on TSE that are really uncalled for and these posts have been despite AVZ specifically requesting posters to not do this.
Btw I wish I was in Bali, it is bloody cold in WA and am not and don't wish to be used to this anymore.I wish I could share your optimism....
1. AVZ/DRC ICSID deferment was for 1 month rather than 1 week.
2. DRC appointed the ceo of Cominière as one of their advisors for the negotiations of minerals for security deal.
Sorry Jongo, maybe being in Bali could well mean you are slightly disconnected, mate.
However my personal opinion is that the extension of the DRC proceedings was not to please anything else than the USA, in regards of the negotiations and am very happy the DRC choose the path they took, so AVZ can continue with the ICSID procedure and say 'I told you what the DRC is all about'.
Side effect is, if the ICSID arbitration is allowed to run its case, Kobold Metals will know a little more about the true Manono value.
Also the AVZ - Kobold deal is non binding, there could well be Chinese interested parties.
The future is interesting, will the DRC/Kobold try to bleed AVZ to death?
Who knows.....
Don’t know that that would be the case. Kobold are not under any legal or other pressure to pay us for unrealised gains. Which is what the court is supposed to do. We are saying to court. We could have made A but corrupt actors ruined our opportunity to do so and are therefor in debt to us for A. But kobold are paying us for the right to realise the gains we cannot due to the corruption. So they need to make their nut it must be below the actual value. Otherwise why would they mine it?Been thinking again.
Now that ICSID has been resumed, it means that the financial claim stated by AVZ has to now be the benchmark.
If AVZ go the full course with a >US$10B claim and are successful, then Kobold will have to reimburse AVZ that amount in order to take over the project. OR, can AVZ go double bubble and hamstring DRC with a financial claim that entails ICSID enforcing the amount payable, acquire the funds then flog off the rights for another amount.
I'm not sure..

Got ya knickers in a knot there Timbo! AVZ has the golden nugget and can also say no to any offers it considers low ball. Glass can be half full or half empty!No one HAS to buy AVZ. We are worth what buyers say we are worth. It's as simple as that.
If any company in the world has US$10 Billion to spend on Lithium they're buying PLS, twice.
